Melbourne Florida for 04-18-2024

Good morning, East Central Florida locals! Get ready for another day of fun in the sun with your coastal waters forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida.

Today, we're looking at some smooth sailing ahead from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nautical miles. The Atlantic high pressure ridge axis will be slipping southward across the waters, reaching south Florida by tonight and pretty much hanging out there through the weekend. So, time to break out those sunscreen bottles and beach towels!

For our friends closer to shore, from Flagler Beach to the Volusia-Brevard County Line within 20 nautical miles, expect south winds picking up to southeast in the afternoon with seas ranging from 2 to 3 feet. The intracoastal waters will have a moderate chop, so make sure your sea legs are ready for a bit of a dance.

Heading further out to sea, between the Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet within 20 nautical miles, south winds will be the name of the game, gradually shifting to southeast in the afternoon. Seas around 2 to 3 feet will provide a bit of a thrill for boaters, so hold on tight!

And for those venturing even farther out from Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet within 20-60 nautical miles, expect similar conditions with south winds, seas up to 3 feet, and the occasional chop as you sail through the beautiful waters.

Don't forget, showers and thunderstorms may pop up, so keep an eye on the sky and stay safe out there, folks.
